Default No playback from spacebar

This is a bit embarrassing but here goes...

When I hit the spacebar my project doesn't play. Instead, whatever plugin is on the screen is either activated or switched off.

I must have changed a setting somewhere but can't remember what I changed or why. So how do I get the spacebar to play/stop playback again?

Thanks and sorry for asking such a dumbass question 🙁

It isn't so dumb. If the last thing selected was anything other than the TCP or MCP or the Ruler, that is what the space bar will try to control.

It would be great if there was an option to put Reaper commands above plugin ones.

Maybe take the focus back; Click somewhere OTHER than the plugin?.

You can go to the actions window-->Find shortcut-->press spacebar to find the play action-->Add a new shortcut--> select spacebar again, but this time select global in the scope. Now spacebar is gonna trigger the play action ignoring the window in focus.
